Well, my new carpet arrived from the states and really happy with it. Sadly I can't say the same for the armrests so they've agreed to refund me if I return them!! So back to square one and not really sure which way to go with them.
How hard can it be to find Three NOS Basalt Grey Armrests

Let's hope it fits!!
Anyway he's my first attempt at replacing the glass, not bad, but not good enough. I need some thinner glass to fold the edge over more to cover the glass

Bad news on the bus, I've decided to pull it from the paint shop as we've both got different ideas for how long it should be taking!!
Good news on the bus, I've got someone else looking at it tomorrow just need to sort new price
